Ok I got my SCSI2SD today so I decided to hook it up and see if I could get my Macintosh Classic to recognize it.  It came with a 4GB card.  So far I've: 1. I updated the firmware 2. Left the general settings as is 3. Changed the device 1 settings to the recommended settings in the first post...

Well I opened it up tonight, but I didn't see any cracked solder joints in the usual places.  I did push lightly on the neck board as someone suggested and it did seem maybe a smidgen loose, but I don't know if that means anything.   I turned it on and the lines are gone, but I'm sure they'll be...

Yeah I think that was him.  I'll shoot him an email and see what he says.

Actually do you know of anyone local to SE Michigan who does recaps?  I honestly don't think this is something I want to attempt on my own.  I know there was someone near Dearborn or Southfield that did it for me the last time (blanking on the name).    I'm hoping that I can find a cracked...

Well one issue at a time I suppose.  Let me try and fix the video before I worry about hard drive replacements. :)

Yeah if I have to take the analog board out, I'm going to have a pro do it.  But the J1 connector should be easy enough to access and check for cracked joints. Scsi2sd eh?  I'll have to check that out.  Something like this? http://store.inertialcomputing.com/SCSI2SD-p/scsi2sd-v5b.htm Indeed I...

Yeah everyone says that where the yoke plugs into the analog board at J1 is usually the main culprit.  Especially if slapping it on the side fixes the problem sometimes (which it did in my case).  I just plan on trying to reflow each of the pins with a little extra solder and see if that fixes...

Question about repairing the analog board.  Someone told me that it could be a cracked solder joint.  I don't mind attempting to heat up and repair a cracked joint (assuming I can get to it), but since this is in the high voltage area I'm worried about getting zapped.  Does the Mac Classic have...

I guess I'll just switch over to using the SE for a while until I can get my Classic's Analog Board fixed. 

I have a Mac SE here as well that doesn't have the video issues (but hasn't been recapped).  Is there any advantage to using a Classic over an SE other than the 1.44MB drive which I don't use anyway? I'd still like to get the Classic recapped though.

When I had the guy recap the system I had him adjust the image so it filled the entire monitor because the black border area annoyed me.  Could that be causing issues?  It was fine up until now.   So if it's the analog board, what should/can I do?  Does anyone in SE Michigan area offer repair...

While playing around with my Mac Classic this weekend I noticed something happening with the video. Sometimes two moving lines would appear at the top and bottom of the screen and the video would 'shake' a bit. This happened to me before but it fixed itself before I could figure out the cause...

Anyone know how to make this work.  I installed my Ethernet card and it's saying that I can't use it because there are no Internet Servers available.

I got the card today but it it doesn't seem to be working.  The problem may be that belkin's site says that it needs OS X and I'm using 9.2.  Are there any drivers for this card for 9.2?

Out of curiosity, where in Novi did you send your Mac to? I'm from the area.

So does that mean the one I linked to won't work in a Beige G3?

I have a Power Mac Beige G3 Tower and I'd like to add a USB keyboard and mouse to it.  Would a card like this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/321364394880 The auction doesn't mention the Beige G3 but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.  

I got it out. I just needed longer pliers. Came out fairly easy after that.

One of these days I'd love to increase the resolution in my CC, but that mod is beyond my skills.

I thought the major stumbling block with the CC when it comes to games was the resolution? I've run into a bunch of games that look like they should run but required 640x480.
